Back to Back Par 5s as Closing Both Nines
Ira Fishman:
Victoria in Melbourne has Par 5s for 8 and 9 and 17 and 18 (very good holes btw). I do not remember seeing both nines finishing with two Par 5s before.
David_Tepper:
There may have been a thread on this many years ago. The Presidio GC in San Francisco finishes with par-5's on both nines.One of the nines also starts with a par-5.
Kyle Harris:
Wyncite in PA starts and finishes each 9 with Par 5s.
Jeff Fortson:
Delete. Didn't read the opening post close enough. :P
Jim Sherma:
Wren Dale (Hershey, PA - NLE - Hurdzan and Frey) - ended both 9's with reachable par 5's. I believe that both were designed to be used as long par 4's for a tournament set-up. Allowed for members to have a chance at a good feeling walking off of the course while giving an easy way to set up the course to play much harder against par. Makes sense if have the routing freedom to do it.
